《Aeons to Abandon》


 Prologue

    ¡°Through me you pass into the city of woe:


    Through me you pass into eternal pain:


    Through me among the people lost for aye.


    Justice the founder of my fabric moved:


    To rear me was the task of Power divine,


    Supremest Wisdom, and primeval Love.


    Before me things create were none, save things


    Eternal, and eternal I endure.


    Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.¡±


    -DanteAlighieri


    I Died. I don¡¯t really remember how. One moment I was alive, and the next, nothing. It wasn''t dark, at least not in the traditional sense. There wasn¡¯t an absence of light. More like I couldn''t see the light that wasn''t there. Maybe this is what it is like to be blind.


    Time is passing. I think.


    I try to remember my life. I used to be alive. That is the only thing I can say for sure. It¡¯s like a dream. The more I try to remember, the further away it goes.


    I try to count to one million. I got lost around three hundred thousand.


    I don¡¯t have hands. It took me a while to figure it out. It should have been obvious, given that I can''t feel anything, but the revelation surprised me.


    I think I¡¯m losing my mind.


    Something changed. I don¡¯t know how much time has passed but, something is different. I can feel it in my bones.

    I have bones.


    There is a light in the distance. It calls me.


    I have been walking for a long time.


    I can walk.


    I see the outside. There are others like me. Millions. Billions. More than I can count. They are fighting hell itself. That is the only way I know to describe it. Monsters whose names demons dare not to utter. Creatures born out of the abyss.


    I must fight them.


    This is my purpose.


    To delay oblivion.


    Even if just for a second.
